Speed

14 to fix38
  • Main-thread work: 24.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 24.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 38

    38/100

    Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.1 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 666 ms

    666 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 666 ms of main-thread work and 525 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 117 KiB

    About 117 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Klaviyo adds 463 ms

    463 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 463 ms of main-thread work and 724 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Clarity adds 504 ms

    504 ms

    Clarity costs a phone 504 ms of main-thread work and 29 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    458 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (458 KiB).

  • rebuyengine.com adds 329 ms

    329 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 329 ms of main-thread work and 740 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 2,916 HTML elements

    The page has 2,916 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 291 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 253 ms

    253 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 228 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Improve image delivery

    110 KiB

    4 images could be 110 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    61 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Time to Interactive: 34.2 s

    34.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Your largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 12 images without width and height

    12 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 205 ms to 192 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 189 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.009

    0.009

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.009, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix42
  • Page weight: 6.8 MB in 580 requests

    6.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 580 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (157), images 1.6 MB (97) and other files 1.4 MB (282). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 14 images in older formats

    14 images (1.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    CON_HP_Banner_Mobile.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image far larger than shown

    60 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example PRO_-_XL_HP_Banner_Mobile.webp at 1,720 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 60 KiB.

  • About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.93 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 8688
  • 13 tap targets too small

    13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (9 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 7 text elements with low contrast

    7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 26 images without alt text

    26 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 32 links without text

    32 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 54 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 64 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 10 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 193 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 193 pages on goldielocks.com and 6 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,219 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://goldielocks.com/llms.txt (9 KiB, 1 link), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix86
  • 4 linked pages hidden from search

    https://goldielocks.com/pages/salon-locator, https://goldielocks.com/collections/early-black-friday, https://goldielocks.com/collections/best-sellers and https://goldielocks.com/collections/signature are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://goldielocks.com/collections/early-black-friday and https://goldielocks.com/collections/signature use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://goldielocks.com/collections/early-black-friday and https://goldielocks.com/pages/bundle-builder have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 7370
  • 3 broken images

    3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flag-icon-css/4.1.4/flags/4x3/us.svg.

  • 27 small tap targets

    27 of 84 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://goldielocks.com/cdn/shop/t/230/assets/theme.dev.css?v=59107' because its MIME type…”.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 881 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 881 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP EARLY BLACK FRIDAY” and “SHOP HOLIDAY”.

  • 28 calls to action

    The homepage has 28 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “SHOP” and “Shop By Category”.

  • 36 short forms

    36 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 63 testimonial or review blocks, 12 customer or partner logos and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 59 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 59 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at goldielocks.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 16 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
